Friday's airstrike was conducted in coordination with Somali forces, and was the second by the US forces this week.
The attack was carried out in the vicinity of Jamaame, some 50 kilometers from Kismayo which was a few years ago an al-Shabaab-controlled region.
Africom said its assessment had showed that no civilians were killed on injured in the airstrike.
The force pledged to continue working together with Somali forces to rid the country of terrorists. It also hailed trainings offered to Somali forces, saying they "are paying dividends."

"When we train a relatively small unit and that unit then engages with other Somali forces, the experience and professionalism we instilled in the original unit spreads to others, and that’s making a difference,” Africom said.
